Chapter 6 My Home?
As noon approached this day, Ailang and his party crossed a hill. A magnificent mountain and river immediately appeared in front of them! The mountains in the distance were like screens, and the waves of the Wei River rolled eastward. A big city was located on the south bank of the Wei River, with a grand atmosphere. That was Chang'an. Although it was not as large as Luoyang, it gave people the feeling of being proud and looking at the world.
The group was still more than ten miles away from Chang'an, and saw a large group of people coming in front of them, both men, women, and young.
Zhang Liao, who was standing beside him, pointed at the beautiful young woman in the crowd who was holding the child with a conspicuous child and smiled: "Madam is here to welcome the general."
Ailang was surprised and pointed at his nose in disbelief and said, "Why, I have a wife?"
Zhang Liao and others couldn't help but feel frustrated, but they had long been accustomed to the inexplicable absurd words and deeds of their generals during this period. If it weren't for the general's appearance and the general's force was still so strong, everyone almost thought that the person in front of them was not their general.
Seeing Ailang and the others coming, the large group of people quickly met. The beautiful young woman came to Ailang with the child in her arms, staring at Ailang with her eyes, and called out affectionately: "General!..."
Ailang doesn't have a girlfriend in modern society, but suddenly she has a beautiful wife. She is still looking at her so affectionately, her face suddenly turned red, and she is at a loss and she knows what to do.
"Dad!" The child in the young woman's arms stretched out her chubby little hand, obviously asking Ailang to hug her. Ailang was embarrassed, and when he saw this, he subconsciously used the child to hug her as a cover. However, as soon as the child entered his arms, he took his little head into his crunching nest, twisting his little butt, looking so cute. I don't know if Ailang still had some memories of Lu Bu, but the feeling of infinite love arose in his heart, and he couldn't help but kiss the child on the cheek. The child grinned and looked cute.
The young woman smiled happily and said, "Thank you for your hard work, please go home and rest!"
When Ailang heard this, he immediately became nervous again.
At this moment, an officer rode his horse from Chang'an and rushed straight to Ailang. He strangled the horse, turned over, bowed with his fists and bowed, and said, "General, the Grand Master is very happy to hear that the general has arrived. Please go and meet him immediately!"
Ailang was unhappy and said, "You go and tell the Grand Master, just say I'm very tired. I'll go to see the Grand Master after a few days of rest." The officer didn't say much, responded and prepared to leave.
Ailang suddenly thought of something and shouted: "Wait a minute!"
The officer stopped quickly, clasped his fists and asked, "What else does the general have to do?"
Ailang pointed to the seven thousand exhausted soldiers under his command and asked, "Our army is very tired when we fight thousands of miles away. Does the Grand Tutor have no arrangements?"
The officer hurriedly said, "If you go back to the general, I don't know about this."
Ailang snorted coldly and shouted, "Go." The officer hurriedly bowed to Ailang, turned his head and went to beat the horse.
At this time, a man with a tall figure and ferocious general who was following Mrs. Lu Bu led several other generals to come out and bowed to Ailang: "General!"
Ailang glanced at everyone and knew that they should be the generals Zang Ba who had led the 20,000 troops stationed in Luoyang to protect their families to Chang'an. But Ailang didn't know who was.
Ailang tried to scream: "Zang Ba..."
The leading general who was tall and vicious in appearance immediately responded.
Ailang asked, “Where is our military camp?”
Zang Badao: "Report to the general, our military camp is more than ten miles west of Chang'an, on the banks of the Weishui River."
Ailang thought for a while and looked at the beautiful young woman. Suddenly, she saw her eyes staring at her affectionately. The words she originally wanted to say disappeared without a trace, her face turned red, and her heart was pounding, "Well, that... Husband, madam, you go back first, I'll go to the military camp first, and come back later." The young woman nodded gently, glanced at Ailang with beautiful eyes, and infinite tenderness rippled like water waves. Ailang, who had never seen such a scenery, suddenly had a short circuit in his mind.
"Go and do your business. I and Lingqi are waiting for the general at home." The gentle words were like spring breeze, and Ailang's heart was about to melt.
Mrs. Lu Bu and others went back first, Ailang calmed down and led the soldiers to the military camp.
As soon as he entered the barracks, he saw 20,000 soldiers standing in the barracks and shouting at Ailang and his group.
Ailang asked a deputy general to arrange for the soldiers who came back to rest and heal. He himself entered the tent surrounded by the generals and came to the top to sit down. The generals lined up and bowed to Ailang together, "General!"
Ailang couldn't help but scold, "This battle is so fucking annoying!"
The generals couldn't help but feel the same. Zang Ba couldn't help but frown and said, "We lost almost half of our 50,000 troops in this battle!"
Ai Lang asked Zang Badao: "Zang Ba, how much supplies did the Grand Master give?"
Zang Ba clasped his fists and said, "It's enough for two years for a 50,000 army."
Ailang felt a little more comfortable and said, "The Grand Master is quite generous."
At this time, an officer hurried in to report: "General, Lord Li Ru is here."
Ailang said, "Let him come in." The officer responded and ran down. Then Li Ru, who was wearing an official uniform, walked in quickly with a smile on his face. As soon as he saw Ailang, he clasped his fists with a smile on his face and said, "I am very happy to see Fengxian return safely!"
Ailang smiled dryly and asked, "Why is Mr. Li coming?"
Li Ru hurriedly said, "The Grand Master is very concerned about Fengxian, and I especially ordered him to come down to visit Fengxian."
Ailang wanted to say a few sarcastic words, but then he thought, now that the tone of a person under the low eaves was probably only swallowed. As soon as he thought of this, he said lightly: "I am very grateful for the kindness of the Grand Master."
Li Ru immediately said: "The Grand Master's kindness to Fengxian is not to mention. In the eyes of the Grand Master, Fengxian is not only a general, but also a father-son relationship!"
Ailang's eyes twitched and said, "I just came back and was full of bad luck. It's hard to go to see the Grand Master. I also asked the Lord to tell the Grand Master that I hope the Grand Master will forgive me."
Li Rudao: "What's the matter? The Grand Master asked me to tell Fengxian that I should take a good rest for a few days first. There is no need to talk about so many false rituals between father and son."
Ailang clasped his fists and said, "Thank you." Li Ru waved his hand quickly and said, "Bengxian should not thank me, it is right to thank the Grand Master. Alas, I can't help but feel jealous when the Grand Master valued Fengxian so much."
Ailang smiled and remembered something, saying, "Mr. Li, our army suffered heavy losses in this battle. I wonder if the Grand Tutor has any indication?"
Li Ru smiled and said, "Fengxian doesn't have to worry about this kind of thing at all. The Grand Tutor has ordered him to allocate two million taels of silver to reward the soldiers of Fengxian who died this time. In addition, the two counties in Weinan Huayin were allocated as places for Fengxian's troops to raise troops. All the money and food in these two counties were under Fengxian's control for the purpose of raising troops. In addition, the Grand Tutor also specially explained that he allocated one million taels of silver to Fengxian as the purpose of recruiting soldiers to supplement the army."
When Ailang heard this, his anger subsided most of his heart. He felt that Guo Si evacuated from Sishui Pass without saying a word and fell into danger should have nothing to do with Dong Zhuo, but it should be Guo Si's own decision. Ailang clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Grand Master!"
Li Ru looked at Ailang's expression carefully and smiled and said, "These are all thoughts of Fengxian. The Taishi also said that there are some things that are not thoughtful. If Fengxian still needs anything, he can just raise it."
Ailang clasped his fists and said, "Those are great. Thank you, Master."
Li Ru smiled and nodded, pondered for a moment, and said, "If Fengxian has nothing to do, I will go back and report to the Taishi."
Ailang said: "Sir, go slowly." Li Ru bowed to Ailang and turned around.
Ailang handed over the matter of the military camp to Zang Ba and Zhang Liao, and then left the military camp and entered Chang'an under the support of the guards led by Gao Shun.
At this time, the sun had set in the west, and the entire Chang'an City was full of golden light. For the first time, Ailang felt very novel when he was walking on the streets of ancient cities. Although the scale of Chang'an City was no longer as large as Luoyang, it was still a city that was hard to match in this era. I saw a street that was straight to the distance, almost no end, and the houses on both sides were lined up one after another. However, there were not many pedestrians on the street, and many shops were not open, which looked a bit depressed.
The group led by a soldier to the gate of a mansion, with red painted copper rings and high doors, which looked like the gate of the Forbidden City.
Ailang asked the soldier in disbelief: "Is this my family?" The soldier bowed and replied: "This is the general's residence. I heard that it was originally the residence of a high-ranking official. It was given to the general by the Grand Tutor." At this time, the servants guarding the door quickly came down to pay homage to Ailang.
Ailang turned over and dismounted and walked into the gate surrounded by everyone. As soon as he entered the door, Ailang was stunned. This is my home? Isn’t this a park?
Haha, no wonder Ailang had this idea. This mansion is not only very vast, but also very beautiful. There are green pines and cypresses everywhere, bamboos and bamboos everywhere, pavilions and towers hidden among the green pines and cypresses, and water pavilions and pavilions beside the green waves of the lake. It is the best park in the future that is afraid that it will not be as good as the scenery here!
Ailang lay in the hot water, closed his eyes, feeling extremely enjoyable. Can you imagine that this era had such a huge bathhouse with an area of more than ten square meters, and hot water kept flowing in from above. Ailang felt for the first time that ancient times were more comfortable than modern society.
The door sounded lightly. Ailang, who was closing his eyes to rest, was startled and asked, "Who is it?"
A soft woman's voice came from behind the screen: "General, I am my concubine." It turned out to be Lu Bu's wife.
Ailang immediately became nervous and shouted, "You, what are you doing?"
Mrs. Lu Bu said softly: "I'll serve the general to take a bath."
Ailang suddenly felt his blood boiling and a heat flow seemed to be about to rush out of his nostrils. He subconsciously covered his nose and shouted anxiously: "No, no, no! Don't come here! That, I, I want to take a bath alone!"
Mrs. Lu Bu responded, with a slight disappointment in her voice. She only heard her say, "I have put all the clothes I have changed here on the screen." Ailang responded. Then he heard the door sound lightly again, and it was thought that Mrs. Lu Bu had left.
